According to the Regional Committee for Education, Science and Youth Policy, the new season of the international competition is dedicated to the sustainable development of Russia. The cases are based on current issues of fuel and energy and mineral resources complexes, and the nuclear industry, proposed by the partner companies of the championship.

The qualifying stage took place at the intellectual site of the Moscow Power Engineering Institute in Volzhsky. 28 student teams presented projects in the fields of "Electric Power Industry" and "Project Engineering". The expert commission included the heads and specialists of the industrial enterprises of the region, who identified the leaders of the competition.

The CASE-IN International Engineering Championship is part of the Russia – Land of Opportunity platform and is aimed at popularizing working and engineering professions. The Volgograd region has organized systematic work on early career guidance for students, support for young talents and development of children's interest in design, scientific, engineering, inventive and creative activities. Excursions to industrial enterprises are organized for schoolchildren and students as part of the All—Russian campaign "Week without turnstiles" and the regional festival "Volgograd Land - Volgograd quality". Another important area of early career guidance is the championships of working professions "Young Professionals" (WorldSkills Russia) and "Abilimpix".
